so yesterday i had my consultation with gastroenterolist regarding my stomach pain for 4 years which has recently got worst.
They told me that as my blood tests are fine and I have no red flag symptoms such as weight loss or bleeding then i do not need an endoscopy.
They have diagnosed me with functional dyspepsia - they say my stomach is sensitive and its very common.
How can they say that without looking??
They said that as im only 29 without red flags the guidelines say its nothing!!
If i was over 55 then they would routinely do an endoscopy.
Anyone else had this? If it's cancer then obviously its going to kill me
